	\subsection{A detailed overview of research upon the topic}
	In the \eqref{eq:powerSpectrum} is shown the power spectrum of $f(x)$ \cite{Romero-Serrano} :
	\begin{equation}
		f(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{k=200}a_k x_k
	\end{equation}
	
	\begin{equation}
		P(x)=\int_{t=0}^{\infty}f(x)dx \label{eq:powerSpectrum}
	\end{equation}
